The key learning area provides a foundation for developing active and informed members of society, capable of managing the interactions between themselves and their social, cultural and physical environments in the pursuit of good health. The key learning area offers students opportunities to develop knowledge, processes, skills and attitudes necessary for making informed decisions about: • promoting the health of individuals and communities; • developing concepts and skills for physical activity; • enhancing personal development. Students are encouraged to act, individually or collectively, in culturally appropriate ways, to enhance health and wellbeing and to promote structures in society which support their own and others’ health and wellbeing. Active engagement in physical activity is a major emphasis in the key learning area. This emphasis recognises that participation in physical activity promotes health and acknowledges the unique role of physical activity as a medium for learning. A significant amount of time in the key learning area should be allocated to learning experiences that actively engage students in physical activity.
